Specific identification of human cytomegalovirus isolates by anti-complement immunofluorescence with immune hamster sera.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An anti-complement immunofluorescence test utilizing cytomegalovirus immune hamster sera specifically identified cytomegalovirus isolates showing an early, typical cytopathic effect. Inclusion of a control conjugate against adenovirus group antigen permitted correct identification, as adenoviruses, of a few isolates initially suspected of being cytomegalovirus on the basis of cytopathic effect.

A comparison of complement fixation, indirect immunofluorescence for viral late antigens, and anti-complement immunofluorescence tests for the detection of cytomegalovirus specific serum antibodies.
It was shown that, on average, the titres of the sera obtained by both the anti-complement immunofluorescence (ACIF) and indirect immunofluorescence for viral late antigens (IFA-LA) procedures were approximately eight times higher than those obtained by complement fixation. There was no significant difference between the mean ACIF and IFA-LA titres, but the former method was preferred because i...

Both immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) were detectable in a solid-phase radioimmunoassay with 125I-labeled goat antisera to human immunoglobulins. Primary infection with VZV was associated with early production of IgM and IgG antibodies and rapid development of lymphocyte transformation to VZV antigen. Among eight subjects with varicella tested 1 to 4 day...
متن کاملAnticomplement immunofluorescence test that uses isolated fibroblast nuclei for detection of antibodies to human cytomegalovirus.
Cytomegalovirus antibodies were measured in human sera by a nuclear anticomplement immunofluorescence test that used as antigen the isolated nucleic of virus-infected fibroblasts cells lysed in distilled water. The method exhibited less nonspecific fluorescence than either a conventional whole-cell anticomplement immunofluorescence test or an indirect fluorescent antibody test applied to the sa...
متن کاملDetection of immunoglobulin M and G antibodies against cytomegalovirus early and late antigens by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
A sensitive and reproducible enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is described for the detection of immunoglobulin M and antibodies with specifity for human cytomegalovirus (CMV) early (CMV-EA) and late (CMV-LA) antigens. The emphasis is on the production of high-quality CMV antigens, CMV-EA and CMV-LA separately, and conditions for their application in the ELISA. The induction of CMV-EA a...

The anti-complement immunofluorescence (ACIF) technique was evaluated for the diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in a group of sera derived from renal transplant recipients and donors by comparing it with the indirect immunofluorescence (FA) and complement fixation (CF) TESTS. The ACIF and FA tests yielded similar results. However, the ACIF test had a distinct advantage over the...
